    Think I mentioned this on a different thread....try a Ruger SR762 for sure, with the Nikon 308 scope (Nikon M-308 4-16x42mm Riflescope w/ BDC 800 Reticle).

    I toy with this question every day. If I had to buy one battle rifle in .308 what would it be? I'm thinking about a Saiga...I don't know. I kick myself for selling my FAL

    I had a 16" Saiga 308 and it was a great rifle. Sold it to get the Vepr, but I still miss it, even in stock form. Kinda wish I would have kept it and just found a wooden stock and forend so it looks just like an unassuming hunting rifle. The trigger wasn't great, but I was able to live with it. Fed everything I fed it.

    My next build, will be with a Mega upper and lower, Black Hole Weaponry KTB barrel and either a Timney, or an RRA match trigger. The guy I'm doing it for said $3000 limit. Should be one hell of a .308!

    If you do go with an AR-10, make sure it is DPMS pattern. From what I have seen, there are a lot more accessories for the DPMS pattern rifles than the RRA LAR-8, Armalite AR10, etc... standards.

    I like the Galil ACE - but is it better than the FN SCAR 17?

    Good question, but Price maybe the deciding factor (for some people), the SCAR price is rising, 5 to 8 hundred bucks can be a deciding factor for addons, furniture, scope etc...

    But I think its a matter of preference I guess...I tend to look at the Price, Ammo Caliber...Range and purpose...
